Family School Church


PARENTING is not dependent on programs and human plans. 
It is dependent upon God, His Word, and His Grace.

"Our Children don’t belong to us but to God.  Parenting is about what God has planned to do in our children through us.”  Paul Tripp

Here are videos about the 14 Gospel Principles from Paul Tripp's Parenting book 

Calling
Grace
Law
Inability
Identity
Process
Lost
Authority
Foolishness
Character
False Gods
Control
Rest
Mercy

SCHOOLS

What I've Learned About School Choice

  1. School isn’t a right and wrong decision.
  2. School isn’t necessarily a one-and-done decision.
  3. School isn’t entirely our decision.
  4. School isn’t a salvation decision.

KIDZ:  Kids and families Intentionally Discipled Zealously.

Zealous by David Michael  tbcgrkidz.blogspot.com/2022/02/zealous-introduction.html

Zeal is so much more than enthusiasm and excitement.  "It is the result of a heart on fire for the glory of God that is uncontainable and spills out in zealous evangelism, discipleship, service, and good works." (p. 13)

1. Embrace a Biblical Vision for the Faith of the Next Generation 

2. Foster a Robust Partnership Between Church and Home

3. Teach the Breadth and Depth of the Whole Counsel of God

4. Proclaiming the Glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ

5. Disciple the Mind, Heart and the Will

6. Prayerful Dependence on God's Grace

7. Inspire Worship of God, for the Glory of God
